The results of the preliminary study found that 7 out of 11 who suffered from hypertension had massaged the head, neck, shoulders and back areas, but patients said that massage was only to reduce headaches without knowing which points to press. The purpose of this activity is to control and prevent hypertension in the Bangun Rejo sub-district, Tanjung Morawa sub-district. The methods used in the implementation of this service are counseling, demonstration and role play.
